Slowly, more and more telecom providers are starting to offer free Wi-Fi to various public locations across Canada, Bell recently announced that is will be offering their solution on Saint-Laurent Boulevard between Sherbrooke Street and Mont-Royal Avenue.
“This partnership will enrich the experience of thousands of visitors, workers and residents who all contribute to the energy and excitement of Saint-Laurent Boulevard, already known for its innovation in the fields of business, culture and entertainment. It is great news, and fits in with the constant evolution of Saint-Laurent Boulevard, a historical symbol of the development of Montreal,” said Francis Blouin, Executive Director of the SDBSL.
